[Watford] Thursday 5th March Meeting

[Walt]

Hi Alain,

I assumed this is a 2.5" ATA5 hdd.  If so you can use a standard 40 core ide
cable with female connectors each end and plug one into the ide port and the
other takes the 2.5 to 3.5" cable adapter which then fits the ATA5 IDE
connector on the disk.

I have tried it on Suse 10 and it worked fine there for both FAT32 and NTFS.
If the disk has problems you may need some recovery software.

You can borrow the kit by all means.  I wont make the meet tomorrow but
maybe I can drop it off somewhere.

Walter

That would be great if I could borrow it, I will then plug it into my Linux
box.
Does it do the tiny ATA-5/IDE ?
